aldersprigI asked for prompts to the theme of genesis. This is alexseanchai's result.
"In the beginning of the gods' creation of the heavens and the earth..." Heressa's voice was quiet as she read, dropping lower with every word. The children fell quiet, too, until the soft slip of her voice and the crackling of the fire were the only sounds. "The world was ice and steel, empty of life."
She made the globe with her hands, the shape of the ribs of the world. "And onto the ice and the steel, the gods brought earth, and from the earth, they brought plants, and from the plants, they brought animals."
"And when the animals and plants had run all over the globe, the gods brought down humans made from the gods' bone and the gods' spit, and then they left. And here we have lived, humans on the world of steel, ever since."
